Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adma201570236-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Nanoparticle assembly is of importance for applications ranging from medical diagnostics to solar panels. On page 5158, J. M. Berlin and co‐workers report that the use of a small molecule crosslinker allows for control of metallic nanoparticle assembly in a fashion analogous to polymerization reactions. The size of the assembled aggregates can be tuned, and they are highly homogeneous, stable, and biocompatible. <graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj2n0rvpvk" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></p> </abstract>
